I'm sure everyone would rather have one great piece than 3 mediocre pieces. However, considering this would be almost $2400 shipped to the U.S., I think you could get a few fairly good pieces for that price. Although these are two pretty epics pieces as well.

Very very difficult . I’d say older grail pieces hold value and Bowen’s depending on which one . I’ve lost on all XMs just because of import and shipping . Can never add that in for sale price nobody would even look at it . Enjoy what you buy but don’t expect to even break even

I wish I would have picked up this piece. It was the price at the time but now SS is right on par with XM pricing.

I just like the modern takes. As long as you see the classic tip-of-the-hat in there.

For instance the XM Scorpion: Prefer the classic armor, but would not have bought it if it looked like the early spandex outfit.

Some things just don't translate, IMO.

XM just posted on facebook that the set is now sold out.

Edit - they clarified that this was the 400 allocated to the convention

What's the difference in the convention allocation and buying online now? Nothing?

That's true most of the time. Me personally I would have preferred a classic look for the XM Scorpion. I look at that piece and it's not Scorpion to me. That's just my personal opinion.
